Petit larceny charge dismissed after judge determines reasonable doubt in case

By Emily Darby

In a session of Batesville Municipal Court on Wednesday, Judge Pro Tempore Jay Westfaul dismissed a case of petit larceny due to what he termed "reasonable doubt."

Marvin T. Smith, 6090 Staford, Southaven, was charged with stealing a gun from Herman Smith after the two had been "riding around and drinking beer."

Herman Smith accused Marvin T. Smith of stealing the gun after they stopped at Earl’s Quick Stop to get another six pack of beer.

"It just disturbs me that two intoxicated men were out riding around with a gun," said Judge Westfaul.

After hearing both sides, Judge Westfaul dismissed the case due to reasonable doubt that the crime was committed.

"Both were impaired, the gun could be anywhere," said Judge Westfaul.

In another petit larceny case, Kaneisha Cauthen of 231 Van Voris St., Batesville, was charged with stealing gas from Jiffy #3. The charge was dismissed after the affiant, Tabitha Thornton of Mr. Jimmy #3, failed to appear in court to prosecute the case.

Timeka Johnson of 222 M. Flowers Rd., Batesville, paid a fine of $295 prior to court for a charge of petit larceny.

Another case was dismissed due to affiant Robbie Taylor failing to appear to prosecute Christopher Ellis of 113 Clinton St., Batesville, for simple assault.
